Rolf Harris has been questioned by police over historical allegations of sexual offences.

The 83-year-old entertainer and artist was interviewed under caution after attending police premises in south London by appointment in November.

On 28 March, Mr Harris, from Berkshire, was arrested and bailed until May.

He was held as part of the inquiry set up after claims were made against Jimmy Savile although his arrest is unrelated to the former BBC DJ and TV presenter.

Operation Yewtree was set up following the death of Savile in 2011, when hundreds of sex abuse allegations came to light.

The Metropolitan Police did not name Mr Harris after he was first questioned or following his arrest and have still not formally identified him. He is described by them as Yewtree 5.

Although the media was aware of Mr Harris's name in November, they chose only to report that an 82-year-old man had been questioned. His name was first reported by the Sun on its website and later editions of the newspaper on Friday.

His name has not been revealed by the BBC until now for legal reasons, says BBC News home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw.

Twelve arrests

Mr Harris's home in Berkshire was searched in November but he was not at the house at that point.

Scotland Yard said in March: "An 82-year-old man from Berkshire was arrested by officers on Operation Yewtree on suspicion of sexual offences.

"He has been bailed to a date in May pending further inquiries. The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'others'."

Mr Harris, one of 12 people arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, has not yet made any public comment.

The police investigation has three strands.

One is looking specifically at the actions of Savile, and the second strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others".

The third strand relates to complaints against other people unconnected to the Savile investigations, made by people who came forward after widespread coverage of the scandal.

Other high-profile names who were questioned in connection with the investigation are PR consultant Max Clifford, comedian Freddie Starr, DJ Dave Lee Travis and comedian Jim Davidson - who all deny any wrongdoing. Gary Glitter, 69, whose real name is Paul Gadd, who was also arrested, has not yet made a statement.

A former driver for the BBC, David Smith, 66, has been charged with past sex offences following his arrest in December.

A former BBC producer, Wilfred De'Ath, arrested last year in Cambridgeshire over an allegation of indecent assault on a girl in the 1960s, has been told he will not face any charges.

:o No! Not Rolf!

I'm hearing on the news that Rolf Harris is now a suspect in the ongoing operation yewtree, apparently he is "Yewtree No.5" in their ongoing investigations.

I must say if proven this will shock millions of people as he is regarded as a British treasure much loved and respected by millions in this country.

If all the allegations are false then I will be similarly shocked that his reputation has been forever tarnished with his alleged involvement in this sordid affair.

Good and balanced post.

I am stunned at this revelation. I really hope it is wrong and that any allegations are false.
Showbusiness though, is a strange world,it never sceases to amaze me what celebrities think they can get away with.

Rolf is a massively respected man in the UK, if this gets proven,I would then wonder really who could be trusted in showbusiness after that.

i think theres amassive problem with the law when they name and shame the accused, destroying their lives and reputations yet the accuser is kept anonymous even if the charge is false. cant they both remain anonymous until there is hard evidence and a prosecution is made?

as for rolf I dont believe it. He wouldnt harm a fly. if hes innocent it is a disgrace that an 82 yr old man , and a lovely man at that and his family have to be dragged through this public humiliation. the law needs changing.

if hes guilty, the law still needs changing and like fellow posters Id lose all faith in humanity too

Entertainer Rolf Harris has performed his first live show since his arrest over historical sexual assault claims.

The broadcaster and artist received multiple standing ovations from the audience at the Rolf Harris Live show in Bristol on Saturday.

The 83-year-old entertainer thanked fans for their support.

"You've no idea what this means - for you all to turn up with such support and such enthusiasm," he told the audience.

Of all the people concerned with Yewtree, I find it hard to believe that Rolf Harris could be guilty. We'll see... He's not been charged with anything yet though. And several people have been arrested, and then released with no further action.

Great idea but what if arista started her newspapers and start stalking you and your hacks? Then Kizzy started stalking aristas hacks and Rupert murdochs grandson stewie then started going through kizzys bin bags? where does the vicious circle end? I believe if a man wants privacy he can sort of find it. It involves never bragging publicly about anything, never share ideas with distrustful mooks and in short never complain never explain!

even if they find him guilty , even if they throw him into a 6 foot cell until hes 90....even if all the alleged victims come forward and cry about what happened on Jeremy kyle or piers morgan, even then I will never ever believe any of this. I suspect strongly in this awful chavland the main mission statement of the chavless workless masses is if theres blame theres a claim....this is the tail end of what Michael Jackson faced by his false accusers. not one single allegation made against jacko was proven and he was 100% totally exonerated from all criminal activities, a fact often conveniently forgotten by the hateful masses

I just can't believe this spate of sexual abuse accusations that have come out ever since Savile died. It makes you think they couldn't all possibly be true, as shown by the Michael Le Vell case, surely some of these accusations are just the work of compulsive liars? I just can't get my head around somebody allegedly being able to abuse so many people and then not one of those people coming forward for decades and then they all do it at once... I mean I can understand somebody taking the brave step to come forward and then others doing it when they realise they aren't alone and don't have to be afraid... but not after so many decades...

I know... I mean I feel horrible for daring to suggest that people are making this stuff up because obviously that's the worst thing you could say to a victim of a sexual assault - but the timing and sheer scale of it all is just mad. Proving historical accusations of rape/sexual assault is more or less impossible I think?

"But concealed behind this charming and amicable children's entertainer lay a man who exploited the very children who were drawn to him.

"His fame and reputation meant no one suspected or challenged his behaviour."

None of the alleged victims - who were aged between seven or eight and 19 - knew each other.

The court heard about one 'victim' who was 11 or 12 in 1969 when the indecent assault allegedly took place in Australia.

The woman claims Harris said "Come here, I want to be the first one to give you a tongue kiss" before grabbing her and sticking his tongue in her mouth.

Another woman who came forward was eight when, she claims, Harris touched her inappropriately after she asked him for an autograph in a community centre packed with children.

Harris denies all 12 charges against him. The trial continues.

Hello Ammi :xyxwave:. I also was sad at this arrest too, I agree with your post above and do feel he could,if found guilty, be given the strongest penalties that can be.

He has admitted it sems to an affair as to the letter that was read out in court yesterday but that the person involved was over the age of consent and that it was consensual.

I will not judge him on what twist the media may put on this and will wait for the jury's verdict.
After all they will hear all the so called evidence both for him and against him, we will not be in that position.

Funny how public perceptions can change, when this particular arrest was made there was an outcry and calls for the charges to be thrown out. There was talk of Rolf Harris suing for the defamation of his good name.

However , in the light of recent guilty verdicts I'll wager there are a few more people out there who now are not quite so sure of his innocence.

I only hope if he is found guilty it is through solid evidence and not just a few old golddiggers who have come forward with similar questionable versions of alleged incidents.

This whole yewtree thing still has the smell of a witch hunt about it.

True, but only presenting the report in the media on the very first outlining of the prosecution case can be misleading and may even be untrue as to anything criminal or even sinister.

No judgement can be made whatsoever on that first piece of information relating to the alleged offence/s.
Trials are decided over the whole period of the trial with both the defence elements of counter argument and also the prosecution's vice versa.

For me, this is a dangerous way of reporting on 'live' cases going through the court, a full summary of both sides is what should be enacted at the end of the trial ,if it has to be reported in the media, not on every small single step of it.

No Its normal.

I accept that but it shouldn't be,as in the case of William Roache for instance, the jury were solidly convinced all the bits and pieces of evidence against him were not substantiated at all in the trial.
Yet like here, the media just about had him guilty all through.

I accept in our media at present the reporting done is considered normal, for me however it shouldn't be and it is time it was changed as to that too,in my opinion.

Harris was found guilty of all 12 charges he was prosecuted on. They were:

Count One: A woman said Harris touched her inappropriately when she was just seven or eight while he was signing autographs in Hampshire in the late 1960s

Count two: Harris was accused of groping a teenage waitress's bottom at a charity event in Cambridge in the 1970s

Counts three to nine: A childhood friend of Mr Harris' daughter said he repeatedly indecently assaulted her between the ages of 13 and 19, including once when his daughter was asleep in the same room. He admitted a relationship with the woman, but said it began after she turned 18.

Counts 10 to 12: Australian woman Tonya Lee, who has waived her right to anonymity, said he fondled her three times on one day while she was on a theatre group trip to the UK at the age of 15.

I understand that it isn't Steven Spielberg as Corey Feldman said he introduced him to Michael Jackson which helped him rediscover his childhood. He wouldn't have mentioned him otherwise.

..doesn't it make you think though that it's odd for it to be just British people and whether there would be so many things that could be discovered about some Hollywood type people that we've always thought to be 'legends' ..?...

Rolf's Australian.

But, yes, I imagine there are all kinds of things that go on in Hollywood that get covered up because of all the money and "power" involved.

The stuff that does come out about people in that lifestyle is creepy enough.

I am rather surprised when this topic comes up while talking to others as to how many don't seem as hostile to Rolf Harris as many have been to others found guilty.

I even got told today from some that they hope he gets spared prison,that he did wrong but he has done a lot for people.

I was quite amazed at that low key reaction to him being found guilty.

Don't believe this for a second, Rolf Harris will become the pallbearer for all of Jimmy Saviles crimes as well as his own. He will be put on a par with Savile and reviled with equal intensity.

Savile died before he could be brought to justice, the same cannot be said for Rolf Harris who will face the full fury of the Judges and will almost certainly have to face futher prosecutions here and abroad (assuming he lives that long)

And unlike Jimmy savile he will have his OBE and all other Honours withdrawn or rescinded.

He will pay "heavily" for his crimes....

It's simple aesthetics... Saville was easy to think of as a monster, because he looked like a very strange man. His public persona, also, was arrogant and essentially quite aggressive. The news broke that he was a predatory paedophile and - lets be honest - most people were far from shocked.

Harris on the other hand - the silly, gentle, cuddly Aussie koala bear - who just liked cartoons and helping poor little animals... people can't get their head around that. Some people I've talked to about it seem to have quite deep psychological defense mechanisms in place about it, still believing it to be a mistake, or at the very least believing the charges are inflated and maybe it was one or two small incidents that the poor old bloke is really, really, reeeally sorry about because he's nice. really.

I think the Russell Brand video hits the nail on the head. With Harris, this verdict is a massive blow to people's childhood innocence and their whimsical memories of better, simpler times. It casts a sinister shadow over people's happy Sunday mornings in front of the TV with a big bowl of cereal. The saville revelations didn't. Because on some level, most people ALWAYS found him ... creepy.

I've genuinely found that people ate finding it hard to accept it at all and are keen to psychologically "split" Harris into two personas - the one they knew, and the one they are being introduced to. people don't want to see the monster punished too harshly if it means the other face has to go with him.


My own honest opinion is that, assuming the charges (and further allegations) are all accurate, his charming and friendly alterego makes him something even MORE sinister than Saville. Watch footage of Saville and it's easy enough to see the arrogant, monstrous sociopath that lies within. Watch old footage of Harris and you still can't even begin to believe what he was doing after-hours.

Really great post.
That is almost exactly what I am finding at present Toy Soldier. as I said above I was amazed, I expected to hear the real anger and contempt for Rolf Harris that started once more and more of Saville's crimes came out as to him.

As you say it appears .for now,some people are keeping the Rolf Harris entertainer image they have intact almost and putting aside this side that he has been found guilty of.

He will of course be stripped of any honours he got and rightly so but of all the people so far charged with these crimes,I have and am still hearing of more who don't have the same direct contempt for him as for say Max clifford, Stuart Hall and of course Jimmy Saville.

That may change of course in time but for now,I would say I am finding an almost even split as to him.
I am astounded at the people who have said to me so far, they hope he somehow doesn't go to prison.
In fact in my local ASDA today, several of the checkout ladies were saying poor Rolf Harris how did he get mixed up in this.

Poor Rolf Harris, I was really stunned at that.

Indeed. Nor should they be able to. Stripping someone of titles when they are alive has an impact on them, it shames and dishonours them. Doing so after they are dead is simply rewriting history. They foolishly gave these honours to a violent paedophile and he died still holding them... still feeling honoured. That's their mistake that they now have to accept. A historical smear on their selection of honourable people. It SHOULD remain unchangeable, in hopes that they'll be more discerning in future. Because you'd have to be completely naive to think that no one involved in dishing out those titles knew that these men had dark "secrets".

Vanessa Feltz did not want his hand moving along his leg under her dress when she was in the middle of a live television broadcast, it is sexual assault. If a famous man had come out claiming that a woman was moving her hand up his leg and began undoing his trousers in the same situation you would be calling for her to be stoned to death, that's the fact of the matter here. It's only because it's Vanessa that you don't believe her

IF its a serious thing go to the police, otherwise she should shut the hell up...all shes doing is using it for self publicity under the false guise shes doing it for other supposed victims. instead shes devaluing the true sufferers of abuse. as for calling someone to be stoned to death for feeling a mans penis, youre LYING again of course. Ive seen many a woman do that and no I didnt advocate stoning her. besides men are not so petty as to try and make a massive issue every time a woman even touches or kisses them without an invite....just to get cheap publicity....its a shame you are so biased for women in all situations.
